The elementview application is a powerful application to show an element in different ways.

To add an elementview application you need to go to Applications and select the Elementview application.

The elementview application can be divided into 2 different parts. 1 is the type section where the different types of entities can be chosen. 2 is the settings section, here you can set different things like the visibility of the chosen entity.
